Previous discussion has revealed that it's informative and meaningless to pretty much everybody. There's a snippet in /sys/cam/cam_xpt.c that says if (bootverbose || 1) { xpt_print_path(crs->ccb_h.path); printf("tagged openings " "now %d\n", crs->openings); } Notice the brilliant "|| 1" clause, which suggests that this is only a temporary kludge. Alas, the responsible developers refuse to take it out on grounds that the message is useful for debugging purposes. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de carpe librum: books 'n' reviews To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
